In this episode, our hosts sit down with leadership from the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Central School District—Superintendent Patrick McGrath, Director of Technology Doug Carlton, and Assistant Director of Technology Michael Steinberg. They discuss the district’s strategic shift toward a unified vernacular across departments, a move that enabled the implementation of automated user provisioning reaching all the way to the physical security layer.

Listen as we explore how the district successfully leveraged administrative regulations and a culture of shared decision-making to streamline onboarding processes. By reducing IT overhead and enhancing data privacy in alignment with NIST 2.0 standards, this team provides a roadmap for modernizing school district operations.
